That advertising campaign wasn't Romero's idea; it was the idea of someone else at Ion Storm. Romero was initially a bit hesitant on the slogan but caved to pressure.

At least that was how it was presented in (iirc) Masters of Doom, who knows what the actual truth is.

Ah, good to know. It's been a couple of years since I read the book and I may also have misremembered something about the ad. I definitely had the impression that the guy would have been a very difficult coworker, boss or roommate, and he was all three for parts of the team at various times!
